No new photos ?

Next weekend(Bank Holiday), depending on the weather.

It's only been 3 weeks since the last update, so I'll give it another week(4 weeks/1 month)

Not only that, it means the training academy will be deserted, and I can take pictures at my leisure, and without being watched and questioned.(at times)

Think I might take the step ladders this time. ;-)

UEFA took the ladders. :(

If only! No, by the start of the 2015 season.

Anyone else a little concerned that for all the new City Academy has to offer, the very location of it and the daily commute might start to frustrate the players, who mainly live in South Cheshire?

I can't say I would suddenly enjoy my 20 minute commute to Carrington suddenly becoming 60 minutes to Beswick.

Not looking for negatives here but we no how fickle footballers can be!

are you really being serious?

Deadly. Imagine every working day suddenly involving having to get from Lymn to Beswick (25 miles) rather than Lymn to Carrington (5 miles).

It doesn't really matter what you drive if you are stuck in traffic. It won't get you there any faster.

I would think that most people consider where they chose to live with regard to where they work and vice versa. All I am saying is that any player when he is getting shown around the complex may find the fact that he has the best part of an hours commute to work each day a little off putting. I suppose the single guys might be tempted by the city centre apartment life however the guys with wives and kids will still want the Cheshire set!

Remember, this is the modern day footballer we are dealing with.

They could always rent a flat in Miles Platting to stay at in the week.

Thanks Termite - I thought mine was a daft question - So we will have a giant crane over the SS till maybe next May?.
I understand that the game of Rugby Union played in the World Cup 2015 - is in October 2015.

Yes but no loss of seats during the work, which is good news.
